Nintendo Direct Buzz Builds for September—Is Metroid 4 Finally Coming?
The Nintendo rumor mill is spinning faster than a Koopa shell kicked by a hyperactive hamster (hush, it makes sense!), and this time it’s all about the next Nintendo Direct. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been refreshing Nintendo’s socials every five minutes, hoping for that magical announcement. Well, guess what? Multiple sources are now suggesting we might actually get our wish this September!
What’s All the Buzz About This Nintendo Direct?
Nintendo tried to phone in an emergency about the missing Switch 2 games, but they accidentally dialed 912🤷

According to SwitchForce (and honestly, these folks have been pretty spot-on with their Nintendo predictions before), we’re looking at September 12th as the potential date. Their cheeky comment about Nintendo “accidentally dialing 912” instead of calling about missing Switch 2 games? Chef’s kiss – that’s exactly the kind of sarcasm we need when Nintendo keeps us hanging like this!
But wait, there’s more! VGC has also chimed in with their own sources confirming a mid-September Nintendo Direct is in the works. When multiple reliable outlets start singing the same tune, you know something’s brewing in Kyoto.
What Could Nintendo Actually Show Us?
Now here’s where things get really interesting (and where I start getting my hopes up way too high, as usual). The smart money seems to be on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally getting its moment in the spotlight. I mean, the game just received its ESRB rating – that’s basically Nintendo waving a giant flag saying, “Hey, remember this thing we’ve been working on forever?”
With only four months left in 2025, it’s about damn time we got a proper deep dive into Samus’s latest adventure. The game has been more elusive than a shiny Pokémon, so if this Nintendo Direct doesn’t deliver some serious Metroid content, I might just lose what’s left of my sanity.
The Waiting Game Continues
Look, we’ve all been through this dance before. Nintendo loves to keep us guessing, and honestly? They’re pretty good at it. Whether this September Nintendo Direct actually happens remains to be seen, but the fact that multiple sources are pointing to the same timeframe gives me just enough hope to keep checking my notifications obsessively.
What are you hoping to see in the next Nintendo Direct? More Switch 2 news? Finally getting that Zelda announcement we’ve all been secretly wishing for? Or are you just desperate for literally any news at this point? Because same, friend. Same.
